As a team, we believe that it is important for members to feel challenged, engaged, and excited by the work they are doing. To achieve this, we try to remain flexible and allow team members to select the tasks that they find most interesting and challenging for each sprint. This helps to ensure that team members are working on projects that they are passionate about, which can help to keep them engaged and motivated.

I created a test automation project for Zoom whiteboard that my team will be expanding on in the next couple of months. I researched and experimented with different tools and testing conventions we could use and wrote a series of tests using my findings. At the end of my internship, I presented and demoed my project to the team, which will be using my research, documentation, and code to implement test automation on a large scale for the whiteboard and other Zoom products this fall.

What I love most about being a Zoom intern is the incredible level of trust. There is a lot of space to make complex decisions and steer your project in a direction that seeks to maximize impact. Everyone trusts you to deliver your best work, all the while creating an atmosphere of all-around support to allow for professional, mental, and physical growth. I worked on test automation with the Zoom Events team, which included the entire scope from strategy to production. Being a huge enthusiast of efficiency, it was great to see a quicker turnaround for all things related to a product that so many people love and use.
